Bride & Groom Get Down at Wedding...Harlem Shake Style & Wedding Photos

This happened at the Wedding....
Look, I have a little videographer in training. Soon, I'll have her running my business.

My cousin had her wedding at an RV park. This is the hall where she had the ceremony and reception.

We were thankful to be inside, away from the sun, heat, and humidity.
We had cozies as party favors.
When I wasn't recording, I tried to cut loose and have fun and I guess for me that means looking like this??? I've always told Trey he is one lucky guy to have me.

Here is my mom with her sister.
And my uncle and aunt.
At the reception, we danced

And danced

And DANCED

Meanwhile, my uncle was playing the lotto, trying to get rich.

A Compact Vehicle Brought Us Closer Together & A Weekend Wedding

This past weekend, we spent over 12 hours in the focus. We drove to Port Lavaca to visit my family.
It was a long drive....I'm so glad we took the focus and not the truck. We averaged 38 mpg on the highway.

For about an hour I rode in the backseat with the girls. I was sitting directly behind Trey and had zero leg room. It makes me laugh thinking about it, but when I was pregnant with Dakota, Trey insisted we consider buying a fiat. We test drove one and everything. Although they are super cute cars, they are not practical for our family.

I finally got around to customizing the Sync Wallpaper, so I had pretty girls to look at during the trip - wether I was looking towards the front or back of the car, I could see my girls.

My cousin, Raquel got married this weekend and I recorded the ceremony. There was a dance at the reception and Cheyenne kept dragging Trey out on the dance floor. She freaked out when the played Taylor Swift's 22 song! That's her jam. When Trey and I were younger, he would tell me no to dancing, but he can't resist a 4 year old! How sweet is that??!! And he couldn't just dance with one girl. Hi, Dakota. We see you too.

On our way out of town, we visited my grandmother. She gave Dakota her baby blanket. She makes all the grand babies in our family blankets. Dakota freaked when she saw her name weaved-in! It was jaw dropping, impressive.

Other than the exhausting drive, we managed to relax and I slept in both mornings.
Yesterday, as soon as I woke up, I got Trey donuts for father's day. He was still in bed sleeping, so I served him donuts in bed.

Here is my training from last week. I missed my long run. Oops!

Trey Has a Hobby

He bought himself a gun (another one) and I said, "Happy Father's Day!"
This is why we don't take vacations...

Actually, this is why we don't take vacations...
I'm invested in investing in my small business. I purchased a microphone and it wasn't cheap. Why is this line of work so expensive??? One day I will pay myself more than $30 bucks (I promise, myself that). Until then, I'll be on the apple website debating whether or not it's time for a laptop or Mac Pro.

The Honeymoon Phase

I'm in the beginning of my training schedule aka the honeymoon phase. I want to run and so far things  are going smoothly. However, I'm looking at my calendar and I'm thinking this weekend I'll be lucky if I get to run at all...

Here is my training from last week! Like I said, Honeymoon phase.

So, I got new running shoes. I asked Cheyenne to help me decide between the two and she said, 'the pink ones!" There it is, my $50 dollar running shoes. I've been known to spend upwards of $100 on a pair, but I'm trying to be more frugal. My last pair of shoes cost me about $45 and they seem to be comparable to $80 dollar shoes I've ran in. One thing, I have noticed about my $45 dollar shoes is that they seem to be wearing down, 80 miles shy compared to my expensive shoes. Either that or I haven't been keeping good track of my mileage in them (that's probably it). It's hard to keep track of shoe mileage, when I have two kids. I'm lucky I'm keeping track of my training!

By the way the shoes below are Nike Alvord Trail Running shoes. I've ran 4 miles in them and they seem like any other shoe I've ran in. No complaints, here.

A Message to Dakota

Happy Birthday, Dakota!
Thank you for always being sweet. 
You give me lots of smiles. 
You reach out to me when you want me and even though you can't talk, I know you love me too. 
These days have flown by since you entered this world and I have to remind myself to hold onto these moments. The moments when I turn you and you lean back and laugh so hard....
You are a my precious baby. I love you sweet girl. 

P.S. I'm sure you are also excited about turning One, this means Daddy will start giving you (more) sweets. Just wait until you become a regular attendee of Saturday-Donut Day. Cheyenne can tell you all about it.

Almost One Birthday Party

Dakota was trying to tell us, "I'm turning ONE!"
I can't believe I'm the mother of an (almost) one year old and a 4 year old. How did that happen?

This weekend, we celebrated Dakota's first Birthday. We met Kynli, she's a doll!

We all passed her around.

Lots of pretty girls in the family. Dakota didn't get jealous, she got passed around a lot too.



Look who came to celebrate with us.

Trey's mom was the host and she did a wonderful job. She's sooooo good at party planning. If you need help with one, ask her...she's the pinterest queen. haha!

C'mon, Look Here & Smile

Group photos with kids are so much fun....

Today, we went to Abilene to celebrate Dakota's birthday, more on that later.
